Pro-Marriage And Catholic? No Communion For You!

We all know that the Catholic Church doesn’t like The Gays; pedophiles they have no problem with, but The Gays are portrayed as the root cause of every single problem facing the world today, from global warming, food shortages, to the rise of the Kardashians.

So, really, it should come as no surprise that the archbishop of Detroit, Allen Vigneron, says that Catholics who receive Communion while advocating for marriage equality would "logically bring shame for a double-dealing that is not unlike perjury."

Wow. Perjury they don’t like but, again, pedophiles get reassigned and free legal aid when they get arrested with their hands in the altar boy’s pants.

Peters, l, and Vigneron, r.

And Edward Peters, a professor and legal adviser to the Vatican, and father of NOM bigot Thomas Peters, says that Catholic teachings make it clear that marriage is between one man and one woman. And so, "Catholics who promote 'same-sex marriage' act contrary to" Catholic law "and should not approach for holy Communion" and then added, "They also risk having holy Communion withheld from them ... being rebuked and/or being sanctioned."

For being able to separate Church from State; for being able to see that some people are being treated as less than, and, while being less than, are called the most horrific names, and blamed for the most horrific acts, by The Church.

Peters was appointed by the homophobic Pope Benny back in 2010 to advise the top judicial authority in the Catholic Church. Peters' blog, "In Light of the Law," is popular among Catholic experts, but not everyone agrees with his traditionalist views.

Thomas Reese, a Catholic priest and senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University called Peters' views are "a minority among American canon lawyers" though he did admit that "about 30 or so bishops have said that pro-choice or pro-gay-marriage Catholics should not present themselves for Communion."

Peters believes that liberal Catholic Democrats—like Representative Nancy Pelosi and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo—should be denied Communion because of their statements and positions. In fact, Peters said just last month that "Pelosi suffers from one of the most malformed consciences in the annals of American Catholic politics or ... she is simply hell-bent on using her Catholic identity to attack Catholic values at pretty much every opportunity."

Or, perhaps, Pelosi and Cuomo, and countless other Catholic followers, believe the Church needs to change and grow and adapt, or risk losing many of its members to other faiths that are more tolerant and progressive and, well, current and relevant.

But I guess they’ll just blame The Gays for that, too.
